The nature of things, Inuit odyssey, [written and directed by Niobe Thompson and Tom Radford], (videorecording)

Follows Canadian Arctic anthropologist Niobe Thompson on a visually stunning journey across the North to trace the origins of the modern Inuit. In a circumpolar expedition stretching from the ancient hearth of Thule culture in Siberia, to the high Arctic home of the gentle Dorset people, and to the final battleground of the Thule and the Norse in Greenland. This film explores the mysteries of the Thule conquest of the Arctic. Drawing on research from Russia, Canada and Denmark, Thompson advances a new solution to the mystery of Greenland's lost Norse conlonies, shedding new light on the first meeting of Asiatic and European settlers in the New World
